:: looks at NYC listings...finds super good female musician who wants to form a rock band...JUMPS ON IT::

I probably won't get a reply o: but she said she wants to form a band that has honest, touching lyrics, and...iunno... She wants to form a band that does lots of sub-genres in rock. Stuff that can make you dance, cry, laugh, everything. And she's quite talented o.o Watch "her soundcloud" not really be her soundcloud o: right?

I should really form my own band, but I'm all...shy? Not confident? Well, all of my life I've had super flakey band members who didn't give a s**t. Hell, in one of the "bands" I was in, the leader was more into the visual than the music. She'd be doing her hair and dressing in her shitty fashions, and I'd be like, "so....I wrote this song the other day..." and she'd be like, "yeah yeah, uh huh... rolleyes " and then she ended up kicking me out of the "band" because I was "stressing her out". Yeah, because wanting to work on and practice the actual material is stress? I also remember a time where I was in a duo and the other guy didn't think I was good enough. Total confidence killer.

If I could find a guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer who thought I was talented but who were also talented and had interesting ideas they could flesh out, were on a similar plane influence-wise (with influences they could introduce to me as well?) and wanted to perform together with me... I would be in heaven. That's all I really want band-wise. Where do I find such people? I bet its hard to do without connections. I am trying to get connections?
